A Note of Insanity

In less than 22 days, I will be finished my degree. Between now and then, I have 6 final exams, 2 final presentations, and 2 final papers. Not to mention a girlfriend's birthday to celebrate, an Orientation team to facilitate, and a new job to locate. Apartment hunting is also on the list. And two days after it all ends I hop on a plane to Montreal for 2 weeks.

Wheeeeeee....

I had two job interviews today.

1. to sit behind a desk and coordinate transportation planning for the province, all for a salary that amounts to peanuts, in a temp position that depends on tenuous funding.

2. to don my steel toed boots again in the service of the University's Department of Ancillary services as a maintenance assistant team leader. Also for peanuts, and in an even more brief temp position.

If the province offers me a job, I should probably take it. I won't. Fuck it. I'm tired of sitting behind desks for tasks that a monkey could do, in a field of 'expertise' that I desire no further experience in. At least the maintenance job will let me work with my hands and see sunshine once in a while.

Of course, my whole dilemma would be rendered moot if I were to get an interview and an offer from the only structural design firm which is likely to do either. For them I would sit behind two desks. But alas, the phone does not ring.

Back to work.
